Dream of the Red Chamber: I Never Intended to Claim the Throne

“A bowlful of sorrow in a land of a thousand beauties; countless beauties die in sorrow.”

Li Yun descends into this world under bizarre circumstances, landing just as he happens upon Xue Pan ordering servants to beat Feng Yuan, revealing this storm of trouble in Dream of the Red Chamber.

He originally wanted to drift through life freely and, along the way, save the girls of Dream of the Red Chamber, but as he travels onward, what he sees is sorrow far beyond just the girls of Dream of the Red Chamber — it is also the sorrow of the countless common people.

The powerful families of the Eight Great Dukes flourish like flowers, renowned ministers and great generals burn with fierce brilliance; the sun and moon shine together, court factions fight each other; barbarians lurk on the borders, and pirates raid the land.

As a descendant of the Hua-Xia people, since he has foreseen the nation’s future calamity and has come to this world, he should do something.

Only, while building achievements and establishing a career, perhaps he can also steal some time to fall in love... or several times, in romances that never end.

(A long-lasting work can be interpreted in many ways. The author is not a Dream of the Red Chamber scholar and will try to stay close to the original. This book has a lot of secondary creation; if that is uncomfortable, please understand.)

The protagonist is not a transmigrated soul inside an original character, but physically transmigrated. If you dislike that, please skip it.
